Glow Plug for the 2.5L six-cylinder BMW M51 diesel engine, screwed into the cylinder head as part of the cold-start pre-heat system.

The glow plug raises the temperature in the combustion chamber before and during cranking so that the injected fuel ignites reliably from cold. It is switched by the glow plug relay and stays energised for a short post-heat period after the engine starts.

One plug per cylinder - six per engine. Replacing all six together avoids the uneven cold starting caused by a mixed-age set.

How many glow plugs does the engine need?
You typically need six glow plugs for the six-cylinder BMW diesel, one per cylinder. This item is a single plug, so order six to replace the full set. Renewing them as a set is common practice when one has failed.
What are the signs of a failed glow plug?
